Believe me, you'll love using Caps Lock instead of ESC very soon. I switched the two using Karabiner (for mac) and I wonder how I used computers all those years before that. If you use vim (or vimium on Firefox), you'll absolutely like this change.

Caps Lock as ESC on short presses and Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+Shift (Meta key) on long presses has opened up a lot of shortcuts on IDEs and OS for me.

It's been so many years that I can't remember how it is not having these combos.

You can switch it in keyboard preferences under “modifier keys” now, no need for Karibiner any more. Can’t remember when this was changed but it was a few years back
